Family searches for missing pet kangaroo

SHAWNEE (AP) — An Oklahoma family is searching for their missing pet: an 11-month-old kangaroo named Lucy Sparkles.

Shayla Menhusen says her family last saw Lucy on Thanksgiving, when she thinks the red kangaroo was spooked by people gathered at their home near Shawnee for the holiday.

Menhusen says she and her family have been whistling and calling out Lucy’s name as they look for her in nearby fields and woods. Plus, Menhusen says Lucy is gray, so she blends in with her surroundings.
